Al Qaeda: Theaters of Jihad
The threat posed by al Qaeda and other Islamist groups is not limited to certain countries or regions. Violent Islamist groups have bases and cells around the world, but they view geographic locations differently. Al Qaeda sees some countries as potential bases for operations, some as frontiers, and others as potential seats of a global Caliphate. The Theaters of Jihad provide analysis of how al Qaeda and associated Islamist groups perceive different arenas.
CTP will continuously update the Theaters of Jihad and cover new regions.
